Roots Word Study Bundle
This bundle includes materials for explicitly teaching common Greek and Latin in roots in real context. The set includes 55 Greek and Latin roots cards with meanings. I recommend pasting these onto cards, photocopying them for students, and putting them on rings to practice daily. Students can use resources to list words that include these roots. This set also includes a roots packet, which introduces the root to students in the context of a sentence and real word. Students can attempt to i

Basic Sentence and Paragraph Writing Bundle
This bundle includes organizers and sheets for teaching what a "complete sentence" looks like and should include. There are several formats to choose from depending on the needs of your students. It is best to teach sentence writing with the "Sentence Expansion Practice" sheets first, as these are great for modeling simple and compound sentences. They help children begin to understand why the parts of speech are relevant to sentences. The bundle also includes a summarizing organizer and an ed

Book Club Bundle
This Bundle contains five Book Club sheets for students to use to prepare for Book Club discussions, which can be modified and adjusted. Book Club is a great way to allow students to practice reading strategies and to allow for authentic conversation and student participation. Each of these roles should be taught individually and practiced by the students before having students do different tasks on their own.

Solving Word Problems Strategy Bundle
Most of the students I work with have some difficulties with word problems. Many of them will not even attempt to read the problems and think about the information before they ask for help. This bundle includes four documents; with the Operation Words Sort, students learn basic operation words. They cut up the cards, write the matching operations on the back, write the four operations on a white board, and sort the cards under the correct categories. Once students master these vocabulary ter

Segmenting Words By Syllables
This set includes a student tracking form to record student progress with multisyllabic word division rules. It also includes a practice sheet with an example to model with as well as other words for students to practice with. The first example shows the strategy of word division. Students should be taught segmenting rules in advance. This is great for small group intervention and mini lessons. It should be taught in the context of real texts.

Suffix and Inflectional Endings Chart
This is a handy chart to give your students as a reference. Students can make their own cards and complete word sorts to learn these common endings.

Three Parts of Speech Interactive Notes
This is a simple one-page note sheet, which will help you teach three parts of speech. Model examples for students by writing in the blank boxes. Have them practice what they have learned by creating their own. Students can paste this in a journal or keep it in a word study binder for reference. The idea is to teach this in the context of real reading and writing. It is particularly helpful for students unaware of what makes complete sentences or those in need of vocabulary development. It

Teaching style
I love to work with students of all abilities and personalities. I work with many students who have limited support in the home. I stay to work with them as long as it takes for them to "get it.' I believe every student has a strength, and I try my best to allow kids to discover their strengths to accommodate for weaknesses. I teach students in a clear and concise manner while allowing them to explore their personal beliefs and learn from one another. I believe in a strategy approach to reading and writing. Students should be provided with opportunities to gain meaning from texts through strong pre-reading, during reading, and post reading strategies. My lessons are visually appealing and designed for students with disabilities to be able to navigate through them with ease while also providing challenges intellectually. My pages are easily modified and adjusted to meet the needs of individual students, as I work in inclusive environments with both high-needs and advanced students.
